100% is needed to calibrate the battery percentages closer to 50% are still better for long term health.
Charge to 100% regularly to avoid any issues but for storing I’d use 80%

Hi,Pick up is tomorrow morning from Brent Cross. They are even paying up to £100 for travelling there. Plus the 6,000 supercharger miles.
Super excited, what a shame that I'll drive it for 2 days and after I need to go for a 2 week holiday...!
Who are paying the £100. Tesla.
I'm due to collect mine from Brent cross on Thursday as Bluewater is closed until the new year. Quite a shock as the lease company hadn't mentioned collect at all and certainly not a 4 hour round trip collection!
I thought it was 100% once a week, then other times, when needed, to 80%
Yes Tesla are paying it. Ask for it. They need the receipts posted to the relevant store's email address.
I’m still waiting on the travelling costs to be reimbursed, I sent a chase email too and nothing..Pick up is tomorrow morning from Brent Cross. They are even paying up to £100 for travelling there. Plus the 6,000 supercharger miles.

Gutted I missed out on the credit by a week or so tho!

Even lease car drivers are asked to collect if it meets the quarter end requirements,

LFP batteries are much harder to calibrate for range equivalence based on the battery voltage. For lifetime its still better to run them below 100%, but calibration is better if they are regularly full charged. However for LFP batteries the degradation from 100% charging is very low perhaps 20% of that of the NCA batteries.I thought it was 100% once a week, then other times, when needed, to 80%
The Puzzling Reason Why Tesla Misleadingly Recommends Charging the LFP Batteries to 100%
When Tesla started deliveries of the Model 3 RWD with lithium ferrophosphate (LFP) batteries, it made a strange recommendation on its website and in the ...

Hi all,
Picked up from Brent Cross today. Seamless process, took 5 minutes, and immediately got access to the car through the app ( it is a company car through Lex).
Car was having 19% charge, drove to South Mimms, topped up to 80% and arrived in Cambridge with 59%. I complained for the low state of charge and they told me it’ll be free once I send them the receipt.
Loved it so far. Inspected in detail before and after my morning coffee in Brent Cross, no issues. Floor mats don’t seem to be of a great quality, will check if I’ll find something better. Any suggestions?
How do I add second driver? Do I need to ask from Lex?

Ditto here, happy to have another thread . Had mine 3 weeks now but unfortunately had to work abroad for 10 days so couldn't drive it
. Did well at Heathrow parked up though, didn't loose much at all.10:30 for me SMS says self service!!! 3 yrs ago we had a half our talk then given keycards 'go inspect your car' 'leave when your ready' Signed for on a tablet.
yep, 30 second talk, nowt to do with the car, just small talk, card given, off you pop. That said, young lad did come out after about half hour, once i'd defrosted it, and asked if all was good and helped me on a few things..............
Pretty much most are about 45%. My guess is a 50% charge at the factory then slow use until delivery
I'm trying to get mine earlier. I just drove by and there are a lot of cars in the staging area
Yeah, it's like the original drive through Covid tests I think that's what the entire Tesla collection experience was based on
